The Uniform Trade Secrets Act generally defines a trade secret as any specialized knowledge or information that gives a business an advantage over a competitor. A trade secret could be almost anything that gives you a competitive advantage. It could be something as simple as a list of customers or as unique as a secret formula for soda. It could be a specific business process or way of doing things. Trade secrets can be extremely valuable and should be protected.
At the New York law firm of Arthur R. Lehman, we assist with the protection of trade secrets. We handle trade secret litigation. With more than 30 years of experience on our side, we understand how to handle even the most complex trade secret cases. For proof, we encourage you to review our record of results.
Do you have a trade secret that you want to ensure is protected? We will work with you to identify the critical business information, the things that are specific to your business, that you would never want to fall into a competitor’s hands. Then we will advise you on how to protect your trade secrets appropriately. The measures we suggest may range from simply password protecting computers to creating employee covenants to protect valuable information. We will be comprehensive in helping you create a trade secret protection strategy.
If your business has been the victim of misappropriation of trade secrets, or if your business has been accused of taking a competitor’s trade secrets, we can stand beside you to pursue a positive outcome to the dispute. These cases may ultimately become unfair competition cases or employment cases involving breach of contract.
